All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On May 15, 2023, in connection with an underwritten public offering by the Issuer and one of its shareholders (the Offering), the Issuer and TZS entered into a letter agreement (the Consent), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain conditions, TZS consented to the Offering and agreed to waive certain rights and the Issuer agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to issue any Ordinary Shares or other securities prior to January 1, 2024 that would result in TZS Parent beneficially owning less than 25% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Additionally, on May 16, 2023, in connection with the Consent and the Offering, the Issuer and TZS also entered into an Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement (the Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which, conditioned upon the closing of the Offering, TZS agreed to purchase Ordinary Shares from the Issuer at the same per share price as in the Offering for an aggregate purchase price of US$42 million (the Private Placement, and such shares, the Private Placement Shares).

The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consent and the Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 7.09 and Exhibit 7.10 respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Other than as described in Item 4 of this Amendment or as previously reported in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the Shareholders Agreement and depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and/or change their position or purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto and, at any time and from time to time, may seek to influence the Board or management of the Issuer with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.
